Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Honours)

In the Mathematics program, students study the beauty of mathematics through the language of abstraction and reasoning. The program focuses on pure mathematics and its intellectual beauty, but also provides an excellent background for many careers demanding skills in mathematical reasoning and techniques. We work with the essential concepts that form the foundation for practical applications in cryptography, computer science, mathematical physics, economics, machine learning, financial engineering, and more. The program also prepares students for graduate studies.You will learn about a wide variety of topics in pure mathematics and can engage in one-on-one research projects with professors in topics like:Algebraic combinatorics, which uses diagrams to compute formulae that are difficult to compute any other way;Number theory, which is famous for easy-to-state and very old problems which still remain unsolved today;Analysis, the theoretical core for modelling changes in the real-world;Probability theory, which is the study of randomness and uncertainty, with applications in science, finance, and insurance; andFoundations of Mathematics (such as set theory), the logical basis of all of science and engineering, which is often used to resolve problems that can be solved no other way.

International Baccalaureate (IB) - IB Diploma with passes in six subjects: three passes at the Standard-level and three passes at the Higher-level, or two passes at the Standard-level and four passes at the Higher-level. Minimum IB Diploma point scores of 30 or higher is recommended (scores of 28 will be considered).Minimum 4 is required in each subject unless otherwise indicated. IB Certificate candidates with six subjects are considered for admission, Transfer credit granted for IB courses with Higher-level final grades of 5 or better, depending on the program (maximum 30 credits). Prerequisites listed correspond to Standard-or Higher-level.General Certificate of Education (GCE) - Minimum of two Advanced-level (A2) passes and three GCSE or IGCSE Ordinary-level (O-level) passes. Minimum average of \u201cC\u201d is required on Advanced-level and Ordinary-level passes. Grades of \u201cE\u201d are not considered. Prerequisite courses (minimum of \u201cC\u201d unless otherwise indicated) must be presented atthe Advanced-level. Transfer credits may be awarded for A level courses completed with a C or better.
